change happens slowly and all at once. a reminder to keep the faith. to ground my actions in loving the practice and who I am for it now. to know and deeply trust that all my dreams are already mine; to believe there is nothing I can do to mess up what’s for me as long as I continue (begin? begin again?) to be true to myself.
sometimes the all at once is because all the pieces are in place and the only thing left to do is to make space for the new to come in. in order to welcome this blessing, we must let go of something that came before. perhaps it is an old belief that is at odds with our new identity. perhaps it is a person. in any case, it is something that no longer fits and, to let the universe and ourselves know that we are ready to receive all that we desire, we must show that we are willing to pay the price. prove our commitment by releasing all opposition.
it comes from action. both the starting and stopping of things. it comes from telling the truth. it comes from remembering who we are. it comes from questioning. it comes when we reach a critical point. either the accumulation of a million mini- micro- moments or a startling and spontaneous single moment of insight. or it’s both. as those watershed moments are typically born from layer upon layer of gorgeously mundane minutia. and they themselves birth the next round of tiny shifts and tentative steps. who came first? who cares?
